I think the Legend is prettier too, that's why i bought it,thought it was the best of two worlds. But you know what, I gave "looks" priority over "specs and power" for once in my life and now I regret it...lol

It will die sooner than desire that is 100% sure, and 1 huge limitation, the lack of developers.If you think i'm wrong, just give a look at the posts in desire forum, and legend forum...

anyway, it was THE BEST PHONE I HAD SO FAR.

cheers

[Legend General] Cpt_Chaos:
dazed and confused-need some help

Hi guys,

I have a question for all you Legend users out there. I am definitely set on getting an Android phone and I have been playing tug-o-war with myself over either the Legend or Desire.

I am coming from a WinMo system (Treo Pro) and I have to say that for a long time I thought it was a sufficient system for me (except it being WinMo-God I hate it now and want to be rid of it forever). I am not a picky user. but there are a few things I can't live without.

Outlook because all of my appointments (I also put special notes in my appointments), and all of my contacts are in there

MS Word

PDF Reader (because I like to read converted E-books)

A third party Navigator (because I use it to find my new appointments)

Occasional music

Is the Legend enough to handle my needs? Ive read so much about both devices, I have played with both and both seem fantastic. But I am also a little worried about the apps thing. Some people are complaining that the Legend's internal memory doesnt allow enough applications. What is your experience when it comes to putting apps on the Legend?

That is the one thing I never had to worry about on my Palm Treo Pro because I could put it on my SD card. I know that this problem will be eventually fixed when the Legend gets the 2.2 but is it enough to wait until then?

I am so torn and confused especially because this will be my very first Android Phone and HTC as well. I know I want to buy one of these 2 phones but I still dont know which one. From the style and general size I would say that the Legend is a good choice because it is definitely an upgrade in every way to my Treo Pro but I have seen so many negative things about it and this forum gives me the impression that it is not going to be supported so well in the near future.

Please someone give me some good well balanced advice?

Thanks for having patience with an indecisive noob.
[Legend General] TheDeadCPU:
Go for the HTC Desire. It's better.

And for the extra few bucks you get a lot more phone!

Though the Legend is beautiful.
[Legend General] Samfau2:
Had one since may. Loving it!
[Legend General] Cpt_Chaos:
Can anyone be a bit more specific? I am sorry, but quotes like "I am loving it" or "Go for this one, it's better", tells me nothing. I would like to know your experiences out there and for you Legend owners who are in love with it and have had it a bit, do you think it would satisfy my requirements?

The reason I ask is once I make my decision I will have this phone then for 2 years (or 18 months) and then I can renew my contract and unfortunately, I dont have that T_Mobile UK luxury of trying it for 8 days and sending it back.

So honest assessments and hard facts (from your experiences) would greatly be appreciated. I only have about a week left to decide.

Thanks alot.
[Legend General] kleutscher:
The legend can easily do all the thing you want to do with it. Apps is also not a problem for the legend. There are just a couple of apps that don't work on the legend and will work on the desire. But moat of them are eye candy apps.

Now come the difference.

If you want to have a phone that can play all the apps and games etc. And has more future of handling new apps go for the desire.

If you want a phone that will be able to use all your needs and loads of more. And really looks nice and is a nice pocket size business phone. But it can be that he can't handle some apps in the future. Talking about apps that are too heavy for the CPU etc. Like Twitter and etc never will be. Then go legend.

And I really like my legend. Even more then the desire.

I don't need all the fancy stuff and its a really good design. And not too big
[Legend General] Cpt_Chaos:
Thanks Fido,

It is the first real answer that I got so far from a Legend or Desire user. I have to say that in all of my Smartphone Experience, I have never been someone who had to have the latest and greatest. I need a phone that can handle my demanding business needs, be easy to use and have some occasional recreational bonuses. I dont know enough about apps to say if there are some from the Desire range that will not work on the Legend (but I am not so interested in games).

But my question for you or anyone else out there using the Legend, do you use it as a business phone? Have they fixed the Outlook issues? I depend heavily on Outlook for my work and it would be a pity to give up for example my calendar functions (with color coding, putting notes in the appointments, etc.).

Thanks again for the useful tips so far. If I can get these little nitt picky issues resolved, it seems that I will be able to add my name to the list in this thread.
[Legend General] TheDeadCPU:
The latest HTC Sync (3.0 somthing) works just great with Outlook. On both my sold Legend and on my Desire.

Though I'd still say go for the Desire, especially if you don't care that much about the looks, And the Desire isn't that bad looking, it's just more, casual. And it will most certainly hold for 18 months! You'll even get Android 3.0!

But as said, the Legend is a great device and probably just enough for your needs. But with a better screen and general better specs the Desire is a lot more capable! And lot bigger community interest about it.

But still, it's a taste matter. I need to have the best HTC phone available in Norway at any time, so that's just how I am.
[Legend General] Cpt_Chaos:
thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the replies. I think it really helps. I think I have my answer. I think in the end it will come down to what deal they give me to extend my contract. It seems that both are good and the Legend will definitely suit my needs and I will opt for the Desire if they give me a good deal ;)
[Legend General] TheDeadCPU:
Yea I did the same, I got a good deal on the Legend, then my Carrier put out the Desire for only $150 with my contract while the Legend was $300! So I changed them, worth it :D

[Legend General] MrZippo:
I been a happy Legend owner since May.

Great little phone, Still get lots of comments saying what a lovely phone it is.

But I am going to get a free upgrade and I will opt for the Samsung Galaxy S over the HTC Desire and retire the Legend to back up phone.
[Legend General] Cpt_Chaos:
I just wanted to thank all of you out there that gave me lots of advice about which phone to go to and I really appreciate all of your patience for putting up with me.

Unfortunately, I will not be joining the Legend community. Surprisingly, they gave me a fantastic offer to upgrade to a Desire. So I ordered mine today and signed my new contract and it will come on Monday or Tuesday.

So, sadly this will be my last post in this forum and I will go over to the Desire forum and get on all of their nerves once my new toy comes next week. :D

But again, thanks for all the help.

Cheers!!!

I've had my Legend since last June, since I live in Canada we don't get new phones too quickly. We just got the Desire HD a few weeks ago, the phone is awesome but I am waiting for a 4.3" HTC dual core device and then I will upgrade.
[Legend General] Tanayar:
I am, love the design and size of the HTC legend :)
[Legend General] Asovse1:
I have a strange feeling that if a carrier picked up this phone in the US, these forums would be WILDLY popular, about as much as the Desire's.

But then, too late for that now. :D

<3 HTC Legend
[Legend General] cobraplayer:
Yeah, I wonder why legend wasn't launched in US.
[Legend General] zerodi:
Think cas the Aria was the ' legend ' for the US
[Legend General] ashishvirmani:
Is legend still selling?

was a proud legend owner all this while. So much has been said about the amoled screen. But after looking at I phone 4 screen, I am finding legends screen quite inferior.

Will probably wait for galaxy s2 for upgrading now.

Swyped from my legend using XDA app
[Legend General] zerodi:
Yup well the iP4 uses a 960x540 resolution and the legend 320x480 , i think the upcoming galaxyS2 uses a 800x480 , they should have made the galaxyS2 960x540 also bit crazy why they didnt. For a 3.2inch screen 320x480 is fine unless u play spot the pixels lol
[Legend General] jabbado:
Had my Legend for a week and a bit now. It's my first Android. Very happy with it, except for the battery life. But I think this has to do with being in a poor signal area. The Battery Use info shows "cell standby" using almost as much power as the screen.
[Legend General] Timothye:
same here ..

I'm also using the legend .. but not for long :)
[Legend General] mosus:
I have a legend its my first android phone and its so much better than my HTC touch pro i used to have. Although there are just so many things that you can do to it and mess it up, luckily -touch wood- i haven't run into any serious problems. Just a few draw backs. The HTC legend is beginning to sell here in Australia with a few carriers so i hope that this forum will increase with all sorts of help topics and developments.
[Legend General] Asovse1:
I think the reason the Aria didn't sell well was because:

It was all plasticky

Those bolts, oh my gosh those freaking bolts

It was on AT&T

Can't you ONLY install apps from the Market? That turned people off I bet

It was nowhere as good as our Legend

Briefly browsing through their dev forum, it seems like a completely different phone at first glance, so strange...

If it sold well, and was completely compatible with the Legend, we may have been holding a superstar phone in our hands all this time. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Maybe just like the Desire, US Cellular will pick up a CDMA version of the Legend, but I can only dream, eh?

[Legend General] jabbado:
So if all you happy Legend users had to buy another Android phone, what would you go for? I mean, what would you like to be different on your legend? Faster cpu? Higher res screen? Better battery life?
[Legend General] ashishvirmani:
Screen probably, battery life is probably going to be worse on other phones with their huge screens.

Although its a fact now that amoled screens eat more battery then lcd's.

But you bring a valid point, even though we want a bigger faster phone, there is practically nothing that a legend can't do. (except playing the high end 3d games, even though I haven't tried them yet).

Thanks!!

[Vibrant General] g1g:
I to would like to know the best settings for set cpu orer clocking......:)
[Vibrant General] psychoace:
Currently their is no overclocking for this phone. The phone needs a hacked kernel to overclock which has not been worked on yet.
[Vibrant General] mygti02:
Seems to work for me....i have it set to performance.......max is 1000, min is 800

not sure what it is by default form samsung, but i figured i would try it out :)
[Vibrant General] bstromberg:
thats not over clocking...thats just clocked to the max. the tmo rep who sold me the phone said that this thing can be clocked to 1.5, which would be so sweet once we get a hacked kernel on these hogs.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
How is a tmo rep going to know that? He try it?
[Vibrant General] offensive:
Aka, he pitched something that sold you.
[Vibrant General] djdiablo:
Thanks guys..not trying to overclock though..just want to know profile settings...

I know on the main menu you are supposed to leave it on "conservative"..I have 1000 max and 800 min...and am I supposed to check "set on boot"?

-under "profiles" what settings did you guys use?

-on "advanced" I have:

<Sampling rate-100000

<up threshold-90%

<down threshold-30%

<ignore nice load-0%

<frequency step-100%

and again in here do I need to have "set on boot" checked?

Sorry for the newbish question...I have checked several people's settings and they all differ..just trying to find optimal balance between power and battery savings for THIS phone.

Thanks again!

I'll look into it.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Pirates Revenge:
The htc evo 4g ver 2.2 comes with a flashlight that uses the camera's led's. Has 3 levels of brightness.:D
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] dkl_uk:
Maybe

I have a week off work and was going to knuckle down and get into some coding - i've never done Java before but I have the SDK and have found the resource documents for using the built in camera, and also the flash module.

I've got it worked out on a very very high level: include the camera library and set the flash to on or off. Beyond that I don't have a clue.

If I am successful, I am going to base this on the application for WM called TorchButton which I have been using on my HD2 for some time. It has on/off, SOS, strobe function.

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581382 for TorchButton thread. I doubt this dev would port this to Android as it's very different code for WM/Android, but if you have a HD2 I would highly recommend that app.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] joshgantt:
Well, I've found that Droidlight on the market successfully turns on the LEDs... the only problem is that it can't turn them back off, not even taskilling it turns them off, only a reboot- so suffice it to say that usability is limited ;-)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shanec2k3:
Actually if you take a picture while leds are on they turn off.....its annoying but i guess its a bit more convenient than having to reboot device
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] dkl_uk:
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the LED control applications for Android and the camera flash light. Although LED's, they are not part of the function of the Android LED manipulator software. These applications just control the frequency and colour of handsets which have the LED notification lights on their front.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] THJahar:
I think most people are clear but for newbies that may stumble into this thread I'll break down a description of 'LED' when referenced by apps/users etc.

Screen LED: The screen is an LED panel and some apps in the market place called LED torch are referring to the whole phone screen. They will often place a blanket colour over the entire screen (usually white) and refer to this as a torch.

Notification LED: Some android phones have small coloured LED's inserted in the sides or the top that will flash on receipt of a call or message(

The Dell streak DOES NOT have any notification LED's

).

Camera LED: This is the LED that sits beside the camera lens on the back of your Dell streak, It's used as a 'flash' when taking a photograph in a dark room.

The above request is for an application that will turn on the

Camera LED

. So that it can be used as a torch.

The camera LED is very bright and quite effective as a torch (N.B. prolonged use may/damage the LED bulb)
